Its universal size fits cables up to 6.5 mm, and the grey colour allows discreet use in both home and office environments. Supplied in a bulk pack of 100 pieces, it is suitable for installers and bulk replacements.

How to use

Slide the boot over the cable before terminating the connector, or fit it onto an existing assembled cable by compressing the boot over the connector area until it seats against the plug body. Ensure the cable jacket reaches into the boot to provide effective strain relief and avoid exposing the inner conductors.

Recommendations

For best results, use the boot on cables with a jacket diameter up to 6.5 mm and avoid forcing oversized cables into the boot. Keep a small inventory of spare boots for field repairs and plan installations to allow the boot to cover the connector-cable junction fully.
